I hope for some good news when they find it.

Based on the time of the accident and the aircraft type reported in the news it may have been N534Z. FlightAware shows an RNAV approach to 32. Live ATC has an airliner call bases at 1600 a few minutes prior which is well above minimums. Getting setup for the approach it seems the pilot had some...

150’s love carb ice. If you think it might have been carb ice... it was probably carb ice.

i agree, also there is the 50 hour XC requirement. I tell my students to come back when they have at least 25-30 hours XC.

tongue and cheek just putting that out there

The "evidence" is a huge crash site that was created by the government to convince us that a plane crash had occurred

Hmm.. seems to me that won't be around long. Appreciate the help. I gave him some education on the traffic pattern, where airplanes will be etc... so he can stay out of the way.

A friend of mine has his UAS operator's certificate and does aerial surveying for agricultural purposes. He normally flies it out in the middle of nowhere but was asked to do a job near an airport. He can complete the job at 100 AGL. The whole thing will take about 30 minutes and he can land...

Really sucks. I've been to the Abacos several times for vacation. Recognize a lot of the places in that video :(

For what it’s worth... when I do stalls with even brand new students, the only controls I cover are the rudder pedals. I can take a delay in getting to the other controls if something goes sideways

The utility of technology and WAAS will hit you the first time you are on a trip somewhere when worsening unforecast conditions at your destination and alternate make your fuel planning questionable, so you divert for a drink of fuel based on some information you got from Foreflight and ADS-B...

Last week: "Okay we've messed that one up pretty good, lets go around and try again" "Full power" "Full power" "Full power" "uh okay" Student reaches over to retract flaps "no no no no no" Now I know why Cessna puts the flap handle in front of the right seat

I find the real-time wind data is helpful when shooting approaches. TAS is good if you have a fast airplane and you'd like to be reminded of that.

Surprised at some of these responses. I don't think i've had a student that did not get flustered by turbulence and gusts. It just takes some experience to get used to it. Regarding a loan, you have to be 21 to get an ATP, at the OP's age that is enough time to get it the old fashioned way and...
